What people are saying about Ethica

Marwa El Messidi, CIFE Graduate

Economic Development Professional, Richmond, USA

"I first became interested in Islamic finance as a graduate student at UC Davis. Ethica's CIFE was the first course I have taken completely online and I loved it! I learnt a great deal regarding the practical application, benefits, and risks involved. The course was an excellent mix of theory and practice. Highly recommended."

Waqas Zafar, CIFE Graduate

"Ethica's tutorials are an absolute game changer. Through excellent examples they explain how Islamic banking gets done inside an Islamic bank. The personnel at Ethica are devoted, professional and above all extremely helpful. My job entails dealing with the mergers and acquisitions sector and with Ethica’s CIFE I was able to accomplish what I had set out to achieve."
